The Dougie Reaches the White House, Cali Swag District Reacts

At President Barack Obama’s 50th Birthday celebration last week, daughters Malia and Sasha led the star-studded crowd through a tutorial of “the Dougie,” as Cali Swag District’s platinum-selling single, “Teach Me How to Dougie” played.

When asked about the single’s success since its debut last year, Smoove replied, “We felt like it was going to be something that we did just for people we knew, and for a couple clicks online, but, it [became] much more than that.”

The group’s debut album, The Kickback, is in stores now. —Ralph Bristout

Technically it’s Lil Will’s dance

Who cares who made it? Its there, it was played, people had fun. Unless ya’ll was there it really shouldnt matter. Your not famous or doing anything. Celebrities will always be doing them, and they don’t care about what people think unless they are making music. Handle your own and stop worring about everyone else
